I too have the online pass issue (playing PC), I saw that someone said there was a patch. I patched the game, and still have this issue.
I'm pretty close to a point to where I don't want to play MP anymore, it is unfortunately getting stale and then this happens.
Redeem/Purchase online pass WTF?

Yeah... knew that around the time there was that fuss about the day 1 dlc, From Ashes.
Still somewhat pissed about that.

I got the same issue. I can not play anymore. I try to redeem code for my MS3 but I am unable to do, because I used this code before. I am really disapointed

I think what is wrong with me is that I still have hope for bioware. That it won't become a victim of EA.
That I can expect flawless service.
Bioware is like that cool friend who is fun to be around but can have a deep chat with. Who enjoys quality movies but like to watch a good fight as well. (ie,make fun games but can have deep turns and plot twists that are not cheap. While still maintaining action sequences that are a lot of fun).
Then that friend hangs out with the wrong people and becomes abused and mistreated. And one day you don't reconfigures them anymore.
(I'm using an illustration to show my frustration at EA and how I believe their influences has had a negative impact on bio-ware. is that company bashing?)

Yeah cause Microsoft made the newer generation without a red LED in them, so people couldnt call it the red ring on the new ones

Which makes mild sense since there's no real "used" PC games or market thereof. That's all Online Passes are for anyway, so that used gamers have to purchase it to play the rest of the game. Further proof this is just a cruddy port rather than a dedicated development cycle.

My favorite part of this bug:
If you're silly enough to click "purchase an online pass" ....you can't buy an online pass because you need an online pass to access the online features to buy an online pass >_>;;;;;

My friend just got booted.
Friend: "fekking thing is saying I need to pay them $315184 for an online pass to play hahaha"
So uhh... I'm not sure what's going on now.
Yeah, that's the fracking thing about it -- over $300K for an online pass? What kind of geniuses do they have working on their DMR/networking/etc bull-duece?
Just tried the live chat... they are "aware" of the issue and "working" on it.
Here's what you have to look forward if you bother to contact them:
****************************
Akhil: Thanks for contacting EA Help! My name is Akhil how may I help you?
you: Hi, I have Mass Effect 3 for the PC. It won't load or recognize the From Ashes DLC. It states I need a cerberus code
Akhil: I apologize for the inconvenience caused. I'll do my best to address your concern.
Akhil: May I have your first and last name please?
you: **** ****
Akhil: Thank you ****.
Akhil: I understand how disappointing it is. Some of the customers have reported this issue. Our developers are aware of it and are working for a resolution. We appreciate your patience while the issue is being looked into.
you: other people on the forum have stated they were able to resolve the issue by contacting live chat
Akhil: **** their is lost of customer facing this issue please wait for some time our concern team is working on this issue once the issue resolved you will be able to play the game .
*****************************
So yeah, a condescending pat on the head.
Sad thing is I'll probably keep playing this game, as it is pretty fun WHEN IT WORKS. But this is definitely the last time I buy anything put out by EA or Bioware. Origin is worse than worthless, and being treated like a criminal child instead of a valued customer is total hog-duece.
Torchlight II is coming out soon. I think I'm going to buy copies for everyone I know.

Do you really want to see where this arguement would go to? Because I can tell you, no one's going to come out pretty from that!
So take your delusional arrogance, stick it to where the sun doesn't shine and gtfo.

Well it is not a cruddy port... just notes a shift in development. As all games are created on computers, and for consoles are then subsequently ported and [supposed to be] optimized for consoles.

I'm on the list of people getting the online pass nonsense too now. I had it in MP at 6PM this evening, six hours later, no dice. Tells me it can't authorize the DLC and that I can't use online features until I obtain a pass, which I redeemed all the way back at launch.
I was annoyed that ME3 was Origin Exclusive, now I'm positively pissed that Origin does not work right. This is not a good impression to make on your customers. DRM should never punish the paying customer, and because thats exactly what its doing, I expect swift results to fix this mess.

Well, that explains a lot. I guess it's all on EA's side.

The saddest thing about Origin is that it is still in Beta, and its currently version 8.5.2.23-151265.
The thing has been revised several times, but still no actual fully fledged client.
Or have the devs just been lazy and not renamed everything..?

How does me being angry at stupidity make me an elitist?
To make it clear, that's a rhetorical question, as I know fully well their is no logical connection. And I yet hereby double my effort to end this cacophony by telling you once again, cut it out.

+1 for the bump on having this. Logged in to grab my packs, and giving me the error. Patched, and nothing.
